I look around for that voice I can’t hear,
I search and I search… into my mind,
I probe into the deep thoughts of my brain.
But that is the spot I can’t approach without fear,
sometimes.
I hunt for answers that I don’t believe,
I chase and I chase… into my emotions,
I scavenge the deep chambers of my heart.
But that is the area that I can’t address without grief,
sometimes.
I dig for that intuition I can’t ingest,
I forage and I forage… into my spirit,
I quest the deep wilderness of my soul.
But that is the realm that I can’t sustain without distress,
sometimes.
I quit searching, I quit probing,
I quit hunting, I quit chasing,
I quit scavenging, I quit foraging,
and I quit questing for me.
I’m letting sometimes turn to seldom, and seldom into never…
Sometimes.
